Alabama 'Qs' Key To Success Story
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Alabama's Crimson Tide, back!
among the elite of college foot-1
ball after a decade of mediocrity.1
have spelled success this year
wilh a pair of Qs, and a couple
of blokes named Pat and Mike.
The Qs stand for "quarterback"
and "quickness", the hallmark of i
its rapid-fire offense and a rock
robbed defense. The Pat is also
the quarterback, Pat Trammell
Mike? He is a quick-driving1
fullback by Ihe name of Mike
Fracchia. who proves a perfect
foil lo the speed, deception and
passing precision of his partner.
Trammell.
This combination has led Coach
Bear Bryant's team lo a 7-0 rec
ord, and has helped it to be
ranked No. 2 in The Associated
Press' latest poll after uhomping
Mississippi State last Saturday,
24-0.
All elements have blended pre
cisely. Trammell is ranked fifthl
nationally in total offense with 956
yards running and passing, and
llth in passing with 730 yards
n completing 5-! of 93 attempts.
Alabama is second nationally in
total defense, allowing only 911
yards in seven games for a 130.1
average, and second in rushing
defense with a miserly 55.1 per
game averaga. It has allowed
only 3.1 points per game, lowes'.i
in the nation.
Trammell has passed (or five
touchdowns, and scored eight.
Fracchia has tallied four times
and been the hatchet man on key
yardage silualmns.
Both will he ready this Satur-I
day when the Tide plays Tiich
mond of the Southern Coherence,
causing the Spider coach Ed
Merrick lo crac1:, "I hope my
boys won't be overconfident."

honors, will play his final
game for the Owls Saturday.

sakcr said, "He is one of t h e

author of Saturday's 13-0 upset of
top-ranked Michigan State.
"We play a methodical type of
game which is not very interest
int lo the spectator," says
Gopher Coach Murray Warmath.
"We concentrate on trying to
take Ihe mistakes out of football
and then let our opponents beat
themselves by making a mistake
or two."
Rival coaches, aghast over the
Michigan Slate defeat, agree
that Minnesota's game is some
times methodical and unimagina
tive. Some add the word lucky,
too. They admit their mistakes,
point to some Gopher errors and
cite injuries as factors. But scl-
dome do they say it was hecause
Minnesota has a better team.
An expert watching Minnesota
for the first time Saturday com
pared the Gophers with boxer
Tiger Jones, saying. It doesn t
look like he is winning until you
start counting up the points in the
sixth round."
We like to kick on third down,
kick off instead of receive and
stick to a running attack as much
as possible, mainly to place the
pressure on tne otner team,
Warmath explained. "We figure
if the opposition has the ball deep
its own territory it is more
likely to make a harmful error.
"We play the percentages a
great deal and sometimes shock
the fans with our conservatism,
but it is all for a definite pur-
Ipose. You might say wo play a
defensive ball game."
